Summer Stock Sunday---playground

Last Friday the Old Salt and I got to spend a very pleasant day with our neighbor's children. I captured this shot at the park. Little sister is oblivious to her big brother taking a time out below. Turned out, he knew she was coming and was just doing what older brothers do.

Summer Stock Sunday---Carnival

Summer Stock Sunday has arrived. Time to post those photos that most say summer. For the kids in our area that would be when the carnival comes to town. While I do not care for rides I do have to admit that the sights, sounds and mostly the smells combined with the activity on the midway always takes me back to my 4-H days and all the summers I spent at the county fair.

The summer before my last year of high school I was assigned to spend the nights at the fair grounds to keep an eye on our livestock. But, I spent one night at the top of the ferris wheel instead. Boy, that was one sweet-talking carnie, who was able to convinced someone as deathly afraid of heights as I am: to let his buddy lock us at the top till he came back to work the next morning.


This is my daughter and grandson. Look close and you will find them in the top shot.
